logfile monitoring with client side configuration?

Hi,

I just installed the new 4.2-beta server and client.
It seems that the logfile monitoring is not working when I install a 
hobbit client with client side configuration.

On the client I ran "./configure --client" and selected client side 
configuration. The clientlaunch.cfg looks like this:

[client]
         ENVFILE $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
         CMD $HOBBITCLIENTHOME/bin/hobbitclient.sh --local
...

On the server I specified three logfiles to monitor in the client-local.cfg:

[my.client.hostname]
log:/var/log/messages:10240
log:/var/log/dsmsched.log:10240
log:/var/log/dsmerror.log:10240

But nothing happens. The logfiles are not touched and there's no 
logfetch.cfg file in the client's tmp directory.
When I configure the client with server side configuration it works.

Can I use logfile monitoring with client side configuration?
